How much of the software do I see on the shelves is for MAC?
Seems like it is just a matter of time
Just like the famous Newton
Oh thats right he already died.

I'd like to know who is not able to prove MS having a monopoly... With Softwindows and such, it simply makes everything require Windows, because companies don't have to port to *any* platform... But with softwindows, you still have to buy a copy of windows to use on it. I see a day coming when the whole of computer systems everywhere will crash in one giant GPF. And when that happens, people might be so dependant on poorly functioning (yet functional) computers that civilization will crash as well. :)

Hi,
I agree with Dave...What's all this got to do with Pronto? I will also offer my opinion that nay-sayers and dooms-day predictors are almost universally wrong.

just my thoughts.

AS SEEN IN: Software announcement:

Robin,
1) The home button looks like a house (did the software writters for hypercard design the first houses?)
2) Most of the world's computer users use IBM's or IBM compatible computers. (that's why there is currently no mac software!)
3) The reason fornumber 2 is apple's marketing department's fault. They blew it in the mac's infancy by noy allowing other computure makers and software writters to "clone" the mac interface (OS); therefore, mac's dwindled while IBM's and windows rocked to their current throne over the world's computer market.

You shouldn't slam Philip's marketing group when they have a new hotseller; especially when your fighting for apple (whose sales and marketing division wreckerd the company)

The reason I don't have a MAC is due to there true lack of compatability, functionality, and flexability. Yes, the interface is a breeze to use, but onb the other hand there is barely any software (comparativly speaking), the issue of compatability with third-party hardware arrises often (as with Pronto), and to be down right honest the mac can't do in a lifetime half of what my 400 Mhz Pentium II can do in a heatbeat (not just because of speed, sometimes things just can't be customized or tweaked on a mac)!!!

PS (sorry for the broad generalizations)
